BROTHERS and sisters, I am worth nothing but what the Lord has given to me which is my faith; the gift of my love for the poor, for the brothers, for my country and my merciful Lord. I want you all — students, churchgoers and kind people — to come to Jesus 2025, the latest stage musical put together by our group, Father Ho Lung and Friends, as a special gift.

This production which I offer to you now is one of my best efforts given to me by the Lord, only to be given to you now as my 86th birthday gift to you.

The musical production is being held at the National Arena September 24-28 and October 1-5, with two showings — 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm — on both weekends.

Please accept my invitation to Jesus 2025; it is my mega musical gift to you. Your gift to me will be the ticket; for adults, centre seats are $3000, side seats $2,000, while the cost for children is $1,200.

I have been writing music, concerts and productions since 1966; I have written for worship, concert and musical productions up to this day. The Actor Boy Awards gave me an award for long service in the arts for the writing I have done throughout my lifetime.

Jesus 2025 is dramatic and will fill you with tears of sadness as well as tears of joy. It is the celebration of the life of Jesus, who is most marvellous in His love for us and His compassion for us sinners.

I ask you to join me and the performers. Bring along your friends and family members for this great celebration.

I want you all — students, churchgoers and kind people — to come to this production. I want you to enjoy the music, the acting, the costumes and the dances that we have put together as a special gift.

I promise you, you will be further educated, entertained and delighted by the production. At the same time each ticket you buy will help us, Missionaries of the Poor, to feed the poorest of people, clothe them, give them housing, and give them water to drink.

In showing love and kindness while serving the poorest you will be satisfying your calling to be like Jesus.

As I said before, this production is one of my best ever, emanating from the gift given to me by the Lord so please, come out and support us.
